Re: IFS question

Use the lstat() function.

Open the directory - opendir()
Read the directory - readdir()

determine the name of the IFS object from the
readdir() data structure (I use d_name here) 

get the attributes - lstat()  This returns a data
structure of attributes - like what you see with
wrklnk.


ex: 
 eval      returnDir = opendir(%addr(dirName))
 eval      p_entry = readdir(returnDir)
 eval      entryPath = %trim(dirName) + '/' + 
           %trim(d_name)
 eval      ri = lstat(%addr(entryPath)
                : %addr(statDS))   
 
There is good IBM documentation with the UNIX api's. 
Just no examples.
